Princeton.

In 2002, Professor Samuel A. proposed a Princeton anti-field configuration based on strong magnetic confinement, and then introduced the DFD concept - the direct fusion engine.

In the years that followed, it was invested in by the Department of Energy and Princeton as a "can try" program.

Both Android and Apple are available. 】

In the plan, the engine will use helium-3 and deuterium fusion to complete the fusion – that is, helium-3 fusion, which will result in a high specific power, adjustable thrust, and specific impulse and low radiation aircraft engine.

Of course, over the past two decades, the progress of the project has been extremely slow, and the biggest difficulty is that the conditions for helium-3 fusion to be completed are difficult to meet, and to be precise, the temperature system is difficult to achieve.

Until a year ago, a Neon scientist achieved an ultra-high equivalent pressure through a YE field.

……

"Actually, we should be grateful to Horryen."

In Professor White's office, Coles, an official from the Department of Energy, had a fat cigar in his mouth and a smile on his face: "If it weren't for his plan on the constraint array......"

Before Coles could finish his sentence, the professor's assistant on the side coughed slightly.

Coles immediately shut up.

He had long heard that there was a lot of conflict between Professor White and Horryne, and now it seemed that the rumors were true—in fact, when he mentioned Hollyon, he was mainly resentful of Professor Hollyon's escape.

At the beginning, Horryne, Dennis, Musk, and he and the Mark Five from NASA proposed the space program to the White House after the Global Conference on Controlled Nuclear Fusion, and it was immediately approved and supported.

But less than a year later, Horion, as the signatory of the plan, fled!

What do you think he thinks?

Hearing Coles mention Horryen, Professor White only frowned slightly, and didn't show too much displeasure, but nodded: "Yes, but this is not in line with our previous plan. Helium-3 fusion is naturally supposed to be used in aircraft. ”

"While the fusion conditions were solved and the fusion could take place, it also changed the anti-field model. At present, we cannot solve the problem of completing the power conversion at the same time as realizing the jet, and the utilization of high-energy proton beams is not enough. ”

Professor White sighed softly as he spoke.

Although he has a gap with Horryen, you can't help but acknowledge the technological achievements of others - science does not lie.

Compared to Musk's Mars plan, the PFRC team's engine plan obviously does not have enough resources, and in this case, taking the lead in completing helium-3 fusion is not only good for future resources, but also for the country's increasingly volatile international influence......

It's all very good.

Although Musk doesn't keep his mouth shut and often says things that people don't like and can't believe, there is one thing he said is right - that is, if you don't spend money, then the money is worthless.

And for money to be valuable, it is necessary to keep the country in the field of advanced science and technology to "win back a city".

- Frankly speaking, Huo Laien arrived at the provincial diplomatic office and immediately co-signed a paper with Ye Ming that faced the dimension, which had a great impact on the entire academic community, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was shocking.

As a result, the PFRC team abandoned the immature engine project in favor of helium-3 fusion.

There was also the announcement announced yesterday that helium-3 fusion will be ignited in a week's time.

It's just a pity.

"Professor, don't sigh." Coles extinguished his cigar and laughed, "As long as you can ignite Helium-3, even if it's only for ten seconds...... Your budget will be ten times what it is now. ”

"That's for sure." Professor White collected his emotions and a smile appeared on his face.

……

……

"Sometimes, I really admire Lao Mei, people are really confident."

hung up the phone, and Ye Ming's sleepiness was gone.

Of course, he knew about the PFRC team - because he had already referred to the PFRC design scheme in the first place, after all, they came up with the configuration 20 years ago and came up with the concept of a direct fusion engine.

And over the years, there has been technological advancement, but it has been pushed very slowly, and many technologies are just ppt.

It's just that after getting the scheme later, Ye Ming found that the scheme is of course no problem in the field of magnetic confinement coils, but after joining the ye field, it is difficult to design, and it is impossible to basically replace the tokamak directly.

Therefore, Ye Ming's final design is original, and its constraint environment strictly adheres to the definition of Ye's equation on Hilbert surfaces, and realizes multi-segment ion control.

"Why do you say that?" Taking Ye Ming's mobile phone again, He Mo asked curiously.

"Because they are clearly behind us in the field of controlled nuclear fusion, but they are stunned to think that their technical capabilities can achieve corner overtaking."

Thinking that this news was a public teaser, Ye Ming shook his head for a while.

"Hmm...... But I think the attitude above this time is a bit strange. He Mo pursed his lips and thought about it seriously.

Ever since she heard Director Niu say that she was going to announce the success, she has been listening carefully to the content of the phone call - thanks to the quiet driving environment and sound insulation, she can hear the content of the call clearly.

Moreover, she also noticed that Director Niu directly said the news of "announcing success".

This...... It is very implicated that failure is not allowed.

Or, even if it fails, declare success – at the very least, find a "success" that can be declared.

Frankly, this is quite unusual.

"Well, it's amazing, but ...... I think it probably represents a change in attitude towards competition as well. Ye Ming closed his eyes, and his mind quickly went over the current form.

He had been a little surprised why the work that had been kept secret had to be announced suddenly, but when he thought that he had entered a substantial new stage, he could figure it out a little.

There used to be a joke that the reason for keeping it secret is that we can't let people know how backward we are......

Previously, it was true that there was no competing capital.

But now, one can even say that.

The results achieved by both parties in any future-oriented technology, and the announcement of that achievement, are in fact a demonstration of muscle.

And this muscle show is not even for anyone to see......

It's for others to see.

It's like, if the second-in-command wants to take the position of the first-in-command, and to subdue the younger brother, it is not enough to rely on Huairou alone, but also to let the younger brothers know how strong you are, and let the first-in-command know how strong you are - this can also avoid a lot of unnecessary conflicts.

"That'...... It should be okay this time, right? ”

Ye Ming smiled: "It seems that you don't believe me much?" ”

He Mo: "......"

Ye Ming looked at the highway in front of him, was silent for a few seconds, and then closed his eyes.

"Our biggest problem is the helium-3 problem, and the Maple Leaf side is out of stock, which really gives us a lot of trouble."
